Speed into the future with the first installment to the F-Zero™ series.

Operated by their own designated racer, including the celebrated Captain
Falcon, pick one of four proton-powered hover cars—each with its own
acceleration curve and design modifications.

Strategy will play a big part in this speed fest as you race across 15
courses filled with challenges and pitfalls. Find shortcuts, elude
hazards, and snag power-ups if you want to beat the competition. Keep an
eye out for sand, land mines, magnets, and other trouble spots, but
always be ready for that boost from a speed or jump plate to get ahead.
You'll need split-second reflexes to control these speed machines of
tomorrow, so get ready for an experience that's out of this world!

F-Zero will be available for purchase in the Nintendo eShop in the
future. Please check back for updates.
